Briefly explain why an unbalanced chemical equation cannot fully describe a reaction?

From the conservation of mass, matter is not created nor destroyed. So ponder it this way, for example I put one piece of toast in a toaster, but when it is done I had two pieces, that makes no sense right? Same thing with a chemical reaction but in molecular terms, all things must stay constant. If you put a convinced amount you have to get that quantity back, not less or not more in broad terms.

A 25-liter sample of steam at 100°c and 1.0 atm is cooled to 25°c and expanded until the pressure is 19.71 mmhg. if no water con
qwelly [4]
I will use [pV/T] in the state 1 = [pV/T] in the state 2.

State 1:
p = 1.0 atm
V = 25 liter
T = 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 K

State 2:

p = 19.71 mmHg * 1.atm / 760 mmHg = 0.0259atm
V= ?
T = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

Application of the formula

1.0 atm * 25 liter / 373.15 k = 0.0259 atm * V / 298.15 K =>
V = [1.0atm * 25 liter / 373.15 K]*298.15K/0.0259atm = 771 liter

A student reacts 5.0 g of sodium with 10.0 g of chlorine and collect 5.24 g of sodium chloride. What is the percent yield of thi
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: The percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of Na = 5.0 g

Mass of Cl_2 = 10.0 g

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Molar mass of Cl_2 = 71 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of Na and Cl_2.

\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{\text{Given mass }Na}{\text{Molar mass }Na}

\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{5.0g}{23g/mol}=0.217mol

and,

\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Given mass }Cl_2}{\text{Molar mass }Cl_2}

\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{10.0g}{71g/mol}=0.141mol

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation will be:

2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Na react with 1 mole of Cl_2

So, 0.217 moles of Na react with \frac{0.217}{2}=0.108 moles of Cl_2

From this we conclude that, Cl_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and Na is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of NaCl

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Na react to give 2 mole of NaCl

So, 0.217 mole of HCl react to give 0.217 mole of NaCl

Now we have to calculate the mass of NaCl

\text{ Mass of }NaCl=\text{ Moles of }NaCl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaCl

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }NaCl=(0.217moles)\times (58.5g/mole)=12.7g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of this reaction.

Percent yield = \frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Actual yield = 5.24 g

Theoretical yield = 12.7 g

Percent yield = \frac{5.24g}{12.7g}\times 100

Percent yield = 41.3 %

Therefore, the percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

A jeweler guarantees that a piece of jewelry is at least 95% gold, by mass. You consider buying a piece of gold jewelry that wei
ELEN [110]
The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³

If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³

The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.

C5H12 + O2 = CO2 + H2O
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: 241.6 grams of CO2

Explanation: you take 84.3 grams C5H12 and divide it by 72.15 grams of C5H12(which is the molar mass) you take that answer and calculate the mols of CO2 by multiplying the 1.168 you got before and multiply it by 5. You take the answer you get from that and multiply it by the molar mass of CO2 and get the theoretical yield and then you just plug it in. 94= (x/257.02)x100 and solve to find x which is the actual yield.
